    Australian Rugby / RA

    Tour finished - none of the teams we played based on their performance would concern me for next year's RWC. We stayed in each of those games for the full 80 and one more scoring chance in each of those games could have resulted in a Grand Slam. I rate Rennie as a coach, really looking forward...

    Wallabies v Ireland, Sun 20th Nov 7am AEDT

    Nope. How good was Marky Mark (Nawaqanitawase) this morning? Read somewhere he almost defected to Fiji - that's an example on how tuff our current pathway is - the confidence and structure it gives the players.

    Wallabies v Ireland, Sun 20th Nov 7am AEDT

    Porecki on the kneck role, as soon as he got up there he let go - one of those calls, On Rennie - I'm a fan, look at the bigger picture; Players out. How close v Ireland and France. Bring back the mud tracker games so touring players get to play in gold and gel as a team, and test matches get...

    Australia v England Test 1 Sat. July 2 @1955

    Agree - I was more referencing players doing hard work and developing, and pointing out that sometimes development is better offshore - playing rugby with adults than being picked out of school. I like the current coaches - Rennie > Thorne, > DC > McKellar - the system is working well. Offshore...

    Australia v England Test 1 Sat. July 2 @1955

    Just suggestion some of the schoolboy talents needs to spend time playing rugby with adults and developing. Sometimes they are picked on reputation and don't succeed. But it is hard given money in league, money offshore, and money talks. Porecki, I don't think he'll think he'd been overlooked it...

    Australia v England Test 1 Sat. July 2 @1955

    E&E both spent time in the SS and also abroad to learn their craft - learning craft - is more the point I was trying to make rather than sign schoolboy superstars. D that's the other point do players improve by playing offshore in a global game - a number of players have returned from the NH...

    Australia v England Test 1 Sat. July 2 @1955

    It May have been pointed out in these threads, Kellaway was a schoolboy star signed too early based on reputation - went away and learned to play with adults, doing great things now. Porecki after serving a good apprenticeship in the Shute Shield further developed his game with men - a great...

    Shute Shield 2022

    Manly v Uni - How good is getting the win at Uni. I reckon both teams will take away a lot from that game with regards to areas of improvement. Alot of spilled pill given the intensity, and probably the top-of-table clash pressure. The highlight for me was the continued effort by Uni to score a...

    Bledisloe #4 New Zealand vs Australia Nov 7 2020

    Hmmm - First try he was first receiver, and saw him playing alot of 5/8. Did he top the tackle count - or second most. We also just beat the AB's I thought our forwards did well, yes, the AB's did apply some presure at counter ruck at times. All I'm saying - imagine if he spent more time there -...

    Bledisloe #4 New Zealand vs Australia Nov 7 2020

    So good having a 10 defend in the 10 channel. And that was against the ABs, imagine if we let him develop, and evolve there. Noting he played all his junior rugby @ 10, all the way through to Aus 20s.
